Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has been instructed to devise a strategic plan to propel Uttarakhand as the 'spiritual capital of the world,' following recommendations from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This directive came during the state's silver jubilee, where PM Modi emphasized the potential of spiritual tourism, yoga, and Ayurveda over the next quarter-century.
